Crew & equipment scheduling, connected to your margin
Most scheduling software stops at the dispatch board, cut off from billing, payroll and costing. Assignar schedules your crews, operators and plant against the job you priced, so every shift flows into payroll, job costing and the invoice. You see the margin while the job is still live.
A walkthrough from bid to schedule to invoice, using work like yours. No obligation. We'll tailor the demo to your trade and region.
The problem
When the schedule is cut off from billing and costing, small gaps in the schedule turn into lost revenue and shrinking margin.
Lost revenue
Extra jobs get dispatched by phone and never make it onto paper. A hired machine gets invoiced for two months, then forgotten for six.
If no one recorded it, no one invoices it.
Eroded margin
Hours get coded to the project, not the task. By the time anyone compares them to the bid, the money is already spent.
Month-end is too late to fix a job that's running over.
Risk & rework
Expired tickets, missing inductions and back-to-back night shifts get caught at the gate, or after an incident.
Every compliance miss costs time, money and trust.
Meet the new Assignar Scheduler
Scheduling is where Assignar started. The new scheduler is built for 5AM: the phone is ringing, plans have changed overnight, and someone needs to know who's ticketed for that machine.
Workers, operators, crews, plant and vehicles on one board. Put a whole crew on a job, split an operator across two sites, or book a machine on dry hire.
Why finance cares
Every booking ties to a job and a rate, including dry hire.
The scheduler knows who's qualified, ticketed and inducted, and flags anyone who isn't before they're booked. No guessing, no phone calls to check.
Why finance cares
Fewer stand-downs, rejected claims and rework from the wrong person on site.
Set your own rest periods and hour limits. The scheduler flags a breach before the shift, while there's still time to fix it.
Why finance cares
Overtime exposure and fatigue risk are visible before they're paid for.
Plan week to week, fortnight to fortnight, or six to twelve months out, all on one schedule.
Why finance cares
See capacity early, so crews and machines aren't sitting idle between jobs.
Why it's different
The schedule isn't a separate tool you reconcile later. It's one step in a single record that runs through every job, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing drifts apart.
Upload your estimate or build the bid. Every line has cost, sell price and margin.
You are here
Crews, operators and plant are planned on the job's own bid lines.
On mobile, crews confirm the shift that already exists: hours, plant time and quantities.
Overtime, penalties and allowances are calculated as the timesheets land.
Actual cost sits next to what you bid, line by line, updated daily.
Bill from approved work, run payroll, and match supplier invoices to the job.
Overruns show up the day they happen, on the line they happen, not at month-end.
Scheduled work becomes billable work, with the evidence attached. Nothing slips through.
Pay is right the first time, and true crew cost lands on the job before the pay run.

Who it's for
Assignar is for subcontractors and self-perform contractors who bid the work, put their own crews and plant on it, and need to get paid for it.
Questions
No. The scheduler is one part of the Assignar platform, which runs from the bid through scheduling, field data, payroll, job costing and invoicing. That connection is what turns a schedule into margin you can see.
No. Keep pricing in your current estimating tool or spreadsheet. Upload the won estimate and Assignar turns it into the job, its cost structure and the starting point for the schedule.
No. Your accounting system or construction ERP stays the system of record. Assignar sends it verified invoices, supplier bills and payroll summaries instead of figures someone re-keyed.
Yes. Rate-based work is billed from approved field data against your schedule of rates. Fixed-price work is claimed by percent complete, as progress claims or pay applications, with retention handled.
Crews see the shift that's already planned on their phone (iOS and Android) and confirm what happened. They aren't filling in a blank form, which is why the data comes back complete.
Yes. Dry hire is supported, so you can schedule a machine on its own and bill it for the hire period.
